nihuallaocoya

Updated: May 1, 2025

For thy fame shall perish, Nopiltzin, and thou, Tezozomoc, where are thy songs? No more do I cry aloud, but rest tranquil that ye have gone to your homes. An ca nihuallaocoya onicnotlamati ayo quico, ayoc quemanian, namech aitlaquiuh in tlalticpac y icanontia ye ichan. Ye whom I bewailed, I know nevermore, never again; I am sad here on earth that ye have gone to your homes.
